since it has been made shockingly clear to me that you can only say you've "been to con" after a big one, then yeah. youma '07 was my first. i had been to JAFAX, and i plan on attending that one again this year... missed '07, and i was bummed....

"Look Mr. Bubbles. It's an angel. I can see light coming from his belly. Oh wait. He's still breathing. But don't worry. He;ll be an angel soon."

Not my first con. Nekocon R was my first con. But Youmacon reminds me alot of the older nekocons. Nekocon has gotten ridiculous now. Security kept telling people they couldn't stand in one spot for more than 5 seconds and no sitting down ANYWHERE, even if you were next to the wall. I love youmacon. Definitely worth going every year.
